With the rising interest in LED lighting, many companies are creating great options. The picture shows a 2 foot LED wall mounted light that was installed in a pantry. This light replaced a fluorescent light that was in place, and giving the homeowner issues. With the upgrade of this fixture, the light will never need to be changed, and no heat is generated from the bulbs or ballasts.
The bright white light is also much nicer than the older yellow tinted light that once was there. These would work great in a closet or storage room as well. They are also available in a 4 foot model as well. If you need any lighting needs we would love to be there for you. Call us today and schedule an appointment.
